HEEERRRRE'S MARTY!

The wizard behind the curtain here at One Man Riet - Marty "Riet" McEwen - grew up in Middle Tennessee. He began drawing pop culture icons in kindergarten. Ironically, this is what he still bases his illustrations and tattoos on today. Like a Peter Pan of the horror genre.

In high school he was immersed in the world of graffiti art. This is where the name "Riet" originated. His graffiti mentor at the time advised him to "spell it with the 'E,'" instead of the grammatically correct way because "you can do more stylistically with an 'E' than an 'O.'"

Doing more stylistically has been his superpower ever since. His recognizable and unique creations now adorn a variety of print and novelty products, as well as the bodies of his clients in the tat chair.

Currently, Marty still does graffiti but spends most of his time tattooing in Murfreesboro, creating new art for One Man Riet - a horror arts company - where he makes everything from valentine cards, halloween decor, blacklight prints and more. He specializes in cartoon style, but enjoys doing a little bit of everything... on a little bit of everything!

You can find him touring to many horror, tattoo, and oddities conventions around the United States... if you happen to catch him outdoors.
